Poison Prologue:

I backed away from him my heart hammering against my chest as if it would burst through at any moment. His eyes, those glowing yellow eyes, made me back up further as they felt as if they were piercing straight into my soul, if I even had one.

"Johanna please listen to me,"he pleaded into my head.

"All along...it was you! What do you want from me!" I shrieked, feeling the hysteria rising up in my chest and it showed through my voice. When he didn't answer I whipped around, the unknown room ahead of me black and frightening, but the boy behind me was the only thing that truly scared me that night. I plunged into the darkness, knowing he would find me wherever I went. I turned a corner and rammed into something solid. It sent me flying back.

"Shit" I hissed under my breath as I got up and turned back to where I had come from but he was already there. His eyes pleaded at me as my eyes adjusted to his facial features.

"Johanna," his voice pleaded at me again as i backed up to the wall, knowing he had me cornered. I didn't know what to do. Something made me want to stay, but the hysteria kept building. I ran towards him, my head down with my hands over it, planning to ram him out of my way. At the last moment he side stepped me and grabbed my wrist. I inhaled a huge amount of air in fright; his cold hand was clamped tightly around my wrist. I started to choke on the air as it got caught halfway to my lungs. I looked up into his eyes wondering what he was going to do to me, the fright evident in my own eyes. His eyes seemed to soften and turn to a honey colour, the glowing dimming.

"Get away from me" I stuttered as I choked.

"Johanna" his voice cut through me as I pulled away from him and ran down the hall towards the front door. I burst through and kept running, heading for the cover of the forest rimming the house.

I never looked back.
